Vote for Chris Garneau on LOGO's NewNowNext Awards! http://www.logoonline.com/shows/newnownext_awards/vote.jhtml?qn=nnn_poll_09

Village Voice - “[Music for Tourists] It's soft, honest, and wholeheartedly intimate”

Time Out NY - “His strong command of the piano and quirky operatic voice call to mind Regina Spektor. Like her, he combines classical sensibilities with folky ones, inviting cello lines and harmonium drone into his ballads”

NPR Song of the Day - “Garneau relies on minimal instrumentation -- a smattering of piano and cello, to go with his dangerously beautiful voice -- and the result is a chilling disquiet”

Stylus - “Garneau charmingly spins the most banal aspects of everyday existence into whimsy”

We are pleased to announce that Chris Garneau has been nominated for one of LOGO's NewNowNext awards: "Brink of Fame: Music Artist." This award will be broadcast on the NewNowNext awards show on LOGO on Saturday, June 7th at 9pm. And just in case you miss it, you can check out a full stream of the show on AfterEllen.com, AfterElton.com or Downelink.com on Monday, June 9th.

Chris will also be touring Europe this May with Xiu Xiu and play Joes Pub this July.
Look out for Sophomore LP soon!
